Through its ApplianceSmart (www.ApplianceSmart.com) operation, ARCA (www.arcainc.com) is one of the nation’s leading retailers of special-buy household appliances, including such leading brands as Maytag, GE, Frigidaire and Whirlpool. These special-buy appliances, which include close-outs, factory overruns and scratch-and-dent units, typically are not integrated into the manufacturer’s normal distribution channel. ApplianceSmart sells these virtually new appliances at a significant discount to full retail, offers a 100% money-back guarantee and provides warranties on parts and labor. As of April 2008, ApplianceSmart was operating 15 factory outlets: five in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market; four in the Columbus, Ohio, market; four in the Atlanta market; and two in San Antonio, Texas. ARCA is also one of the nation’s largest recyclers of major household appliances for the energy conservation programs of electric utilities.
